What woman, other than Sarah, does the Bible give the exact age?
Where would it be found? Thank you.
I am not sure if there is another, I have looked just about every where.

See? Even way back then women didn't like to disclose their age. j/k
Though many women are mentioned in the Bible, the EXACT age of only one (Sarah, Abraham’s wife) is recorded at the time of the story, and that was to show at her advanced age she would miraculously become the mother of Isaac.
As to the prophetess Anna, we are not told how old she is at the time of the coming of Christ. We are simply told at what age she died (84). We are told the daughter of Jairus is "about 12" but she is called a girl and not a woman. (Luke 8:42).

Sarah is one of the few women of the Bible, whose exact age is given.
There is an approximate age of the prophetess, Anna, (Luke 2:36-37).
The daughter of Jairus, was approximately "twelve years of age" (Luke 8)

Just read the death of the ancient Israelite prophets it gives the exact age. For instance Moses according to DT 34 was 120.
